What is the name of your state? Ga.

Hubby wants to send the NCP's probation officer a copy of their final consent order. Inside the court order it states that if the amount greater than 1 month is not paid then garnishment may be started. NCP is $4 grand in the hole. 1 week she might send $50 dollars, next it might be another month before she'll send $50 more.
Anyways, hubby wants me to start getting the paper work together to send to this probation officer. Like a copy of the court order, info regarding the NCP's employment, hubby's case worker's name and phone number and a brief letter stating about lack of child support received. This is to inform the PO that the NCP does have an obligation to meet.
I don't know if this is a good idea to do or not. Would there be any type of repercutions? What do ya'll think? :)

Thanks in advance.....

Unless a stipulation of her probation is that she has to remain current in child support obligations then what would be the point in sending it to her PO? She wouldn't be violating probation if it's not in there, there'd be nothing that the PO could legally do. If she's on probation, she should be working. That usually IS a stipulation of probation. Has he started garnishment proceedings against her like he's entitled to do?

What he needs to do is file for contempt for her failure to pay child support. That is his legal remedy for violation of the support order.
